This is the most beautiful presentation of the Expressive Art process of which I have ever had the pleasure of viewing, feeling, emoting! It calls to me as if a Siren from Greek Mythology.

Thank you, Dr. McNiff for sharing this remarkable exploration.

I have watched this now for the third time and find it inspiring in my own journey of self expression. In my completion of Dip Art Therapy my journey has opened up a huge personal awareness. Image is so powerful. Thank you for sharing your visual journey and narration.

Thank you for creating this wonderful video. It invoked memories of huge rocks like these in a park across from my childhood home and the hours we played amongst them! My love of rocks may have started there....What a great way to show your creative inspirations...Eva Macie

Thanks for this video. Your paintings are lovely; your writings have changed my life (no lie). Thanks for the encouragement, and for the beautiful work you've created and shared here.

Thank you for sharing such a visionary and beautifully articulated piece! I particularly loved your commment "I like think of myself as dreaming what I already have" - that very much resonated for me.

[monahobo]

thanks a hundred times for this.

Wow, once again, you have done it! This format for demonstrating your relationship to the area you love, and how it finds its way into a painting, is so fresh, new and exciting. To use your visual eye, your poetry, your voice, ever the teacher and explorer, in this "multi-modal" process is a bulls eye! I hope to come watch your movie. You continue to be inspirational.

Intriguing and beautiful expression of the artist's creative process.

Very lovely!

Thanks for the share Shaun, this is beautifully documented. It's a wonderful place here we live. Your interaction with space, place and objects of being transcend time. Dreamscapes of the imagination are one, embracing your interaction of space and time forever.

I love this. What is unexplored is the intensity of color used, which is not there in the scenes that inspired you. So there is more than the essence of the rocks here; there is some vehemence of emotion. You only acknowledge that imagination mediates the images. I won't ask what these paintings say about the artist. Yet when I look at them next to the the rocks, seascapes, etc., I cannot help being aware of raw red emotion. I am curious about this artistic process. Thanks for sharing. --Kendra
